Customer based SLA

Service level management is the process that includes identifying your business requirements and establishing the scope of services, timeliness, operation, recovery, and performance, essentially translating your business needs into IT requirements. This may mean performing a gap analysis to identify gaps between requirements and drafting and negotiating SLAs with the different business units. SLA management also includes measuring SLA performance, reporting on the results, and adjusting agreements as it becomes necessary.

Service level management (SLM) provides a framework where services and service levels are defined and agreed upon. The objective of SLM is to ensure that performance meets the changing needs of the client’s business through continuous improvement of services and processes.

Thorough service-level agreements

A service-level agreement (SLA) is what defines the level of service you expect from vendors. It describes the metrics used to measure the service and the remedies or penalties that should be implemented in case the agreed-upon service level is not reached. A thorough and clear service level agreement is a crucial component of technology vendor contracts.

Examples of what goes in to a service-level agreement include, but are not limited to:

Availability and uptime

Uptime is the amount of time the services are accessible to the customer, and it is often tracked and reported either per month or per billing cycle.

Specific performance benchmarks

These benchmarks are what performance is compared to overtime.

Response time

The time it takes for the service provider to respond to a request.

Resolution time

Once the provider logs issues and requests, this is the time it takes for the service provider to resolve them.

Business results

Here specific KPIs can be used to monitor and measure how the service provider contributes to the business performance.

Error rate

This metric tracks the percentage of errors, such as errors in coding or missed deadlines.

First-call resolution

This is the percentage of incoming calls resolved without any need for a callback from the help desk.

Average time to recovery

How long it takes to recover when there has been a service outage.

Security

In penetration testing, Vaimo makes a simulated cyberattack on your ecommerce store to assess the security level of your system.

Time service factor

The percentage of customer service calls answered within a given period.

Turnaround time

How long it takes for the service provider to resolve an issue once it is received.
